Spirituality in Dark Places explores the spiritual consequences and
ethics of modern solitary confinement. Jeffreys emphasizes how
solitary confinement damages our spiritual lives, focusing
particularly on how it destroys our relationship to time and
undermines our creativity. Solitary inmates experience profound
temporal dislocation that erodes their personal identities. They
are often isolated from music, art, and books, or find their
creativity tightly controlled. Informed by experiences with
inmates, chaplains, and employees in the Wisconsin Department of
Corrections, Jeffreys also evaluates the ethics of solitary
confinement, considering but ultimately rejecting the argument that
punitive isolation justifiably expresses moral outrage at heinous
crimes. Finally, Jeffreys proposes changes in solitary confinement
in order to mitigate its profound damage to both prisoners and
human dignity at large.
